Spectacular

Ava, was a great guide and very informative, however, there was a bit of waiting and standing around. Price should include the entry tickets to the museum and not have to pay an extra 23 euros each on top of price already paid.

Our tour guide's passion for history and art were boundless.

We stayed in a apartment off Via Veneto and the owner recommended ItalyXP for any tours. It was an excellent choice for us. Rachele was knowledgable, kind and organized throughout the Vatican tour. She kept everything moving and interesting at every point. Her ability to add context to all that you are seeing makes it a much more meaningful experience. Imagine our delight when we showed up at the Colosseum/Forum tour a few days later and Rachele was our guide again! Fantastico!

A great tour of the Vatican sites!

A very extensive tour and our guide was great. She was very enthusiastic and showed a great knowledge of art history. Skip the line is the only way to go!

Two Great Tours

We spent 4 days in Rome and pre booked two tours, one including the coliseum, palatine hill, pantheon etc, and the other to the Vatican. Both our guides were lovely, warm and friendly. They both spoke very good English, we didn't have one problem understanding them through the headsets. They were both very knowledgable, answered all questions (a woman on our tour seemed to have hundreds) and seemed to enjoy their jobs.

We had a great experience

We booked two tours with them and enjoyed both. We did the Ancient Rome walking tour one day and our guide was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and answered all questions. Her English was great and the headsets worked perfectly. I noticed others commenting in static but if you ask them for help they will switch out or help fix if needed (they carry extras on the tour). This tour covered all of the high points of Rome and made is feel like very efficient travellers. We did the Vatican City tour the next day with them as well and loved it just as much. We had the University professor and she was wonderful. Witty, funny and very knowledgeable. She didn't skip over anything with us and we had an incredibly busy day with tourists as well. Her English was great and understood everything. The only thing we wished was that they would stop for more photo ops and offer to take photos of you at various spots (I understand this can be time consuming in larger groups but we were relatively small groups and would have been a nice touch, rather than taking a bunch of "selfies"). We only had 1.5 days in Rome and these two tours helped us ensure we squeezed everything in!
